How to Make Italian Parmesan Bread
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast in 1 cup warm water (105-115°F). Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Beat on low speed for 30 seconds until just combined.
- Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.
- Add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Beat until a smooth dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
- Gently stir the dough 25 times. Grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour the dough into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
- Brush the top with 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter and sprinkle with an additional 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let rise again until doubled (about 30-45 minutes).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Internal temperature should reach 205°F (96°C).
- Let cool in the dish for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
